Here's an example of Musicbrainz being brain dead. Frank Lowe, a tenor sax player who played mostly free jazz, has only five recordings listed in Musicbrainz (http://musicbrainz.org/artist/c12f22fd-7528-40c5-a429-c61820eaaeef) and yet I have 16 albums with Frank Lowe's name as artist: Billy Bang Quintet featuring Frank Lowe - Above & Beyond: An Evening In Grand Rapids Billy Bang Sextet featuring Frank Lowe - Sweet Space Dennis Gonzalez Band of Sorcerers featuring Frank Lowe - Live in Washington, D.C. Frank Lowe - Black Beings Frank Lowe - Decision In Paradise Frank Lowe - The Flam Frank Lowe - Fresh Frank Lowe - Live in Paris May 9th, 1978 (this one is a bootleg recording) Frank Lowe - Lowe-down & Blue Frank Lowe - The Other Side Frank Lowe / Billy Bang Quartet - One For Jazz Frank Lowe Quartet - Argouleme, France May 6th, 1978 (this one is a bootleg recording) Frank Lowe Quartet - Tricks Of The Trade Frank Lowe Quintet - Live From Soundscape Frank Lowe Quintet - Exotic Heartbreak Frank Lowe Quintet - Soul Folks Frank Lowe Trio - Vision Blue In fact the links on the Musicbrainz Frank Lowe page for both Discogs (http://www.discogs.com/artist/Frank+Lowe) and Allmusic (http://www.allmusic.com/artist/mn0000175558) each have over 15 entries each. That is just one example of why I don't trust third party tags, especially one's that do auto tagging. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
